Only 8 hours of brine, rubbed down with butter and honey. Turkey was too tall for the UDS so had to place it on the lower rack-- with a pork loin on top for the drippings. Pork loin was basted in plum wine and maple syrup. Not too shabby-- not sure I will go back to the oven.

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving to my northern neighbors!! The turkey looks fantastic and I hope you all had a wonderful day. I guess it's time to get in a practice run for our Thanksgiving next month. Judging by all the posts on here I'll have to hit it out of the park just to keep up!
